NFL teams, including the Minnesota Vikings and Pittsburgh Steelers, have released their initial depth charts for the 2024 preseason. Sam Darnold is listed as the starting quarterback for the Vikings, with rookie J.J. McCarthy and veteran Nick Mullens vying for the backup position, while Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison lead the wide receiver corps. The Steelers have kept Russell Wilson as their QB1 despite Justin Fields' strong performance, with George Pickens and Van Jefferson as top receivers. The Vikings' depth chart also highlights Blake Brandel starting over Dalton Risner at left guard, and some surprising defensive lineup choices, such as Dallas Turner as a backup. Both teams' depth charts are expected to evolve as the preseason progresses.
